Marlborough Place
Marlborough Place is a street in St John's Wood in London, England.

The Metropolitan Line tube station Marlborough Road opened in 1868 was named after it, although its station entrance was on Queen's Grove on the opposite side of the Finchley Road.Bownes p.26 The biologist Thomas Henry Huxley lived in the street, and is commemorated with a blue plaque A blue plaque is a permanent sign installed in a public place in the United Kingdom and elsewhere to commemorate a link between that loca ...
